I am using 915 motherboard,which has a lan card onboard on it. In linux there is a problem with the sound driver as well as with the lancard. i am not able to configure both. lancard is of intel(r) pro/100 ve network connection. sound is of realtek.

Presuming your distro is debian. If not install debian sarge. modprobe eepro100 modprobe ac97_codec

How does the distro matter in this? The same modules work on my RH 7.3 installation. If eepro100 does not work, use the e100 driver. Pointless distro pushing does not make sense.

Not quite pointless. The question is a typical newbie question. There are likely to be many more such, which if the distro happens to be something else will not be answerable by ME.

(BTW, I have found apt-get to be a very convoluted way of managing packages. The best way for my administrative style is the BSD ports. apt tends to break when it meets my requirements).

Apt is quite suitable for the less stylish ;-).
